elfs | Weekend Updaterry.

Well, despite Omaha and I managing to get rid of both kids yesterday, we still managed to do not much more than go out to eat last night. We were too exhausted, too used up from a week of life. Omaha also forgot to take her meds that morning so she took the full dose in the afternoon and was pretty out of it anyway. Despite that, it was a lovely day of hanging out with my beautiful wife, and we had a good time despite it all.

Today, the weather was so helpful that after a quick breakfast of scrambled egg sandwiches I went outside and began cleaning up a winter's worth of damage, assessing what needed to be cleaned up. I swept part of the driveway and shoveled out the grass that was starting to grow up in the drainage nook in front of the garage. And I finally glued down that loose strip from the luggage rack on top of the car, comfortable in the knowledge that it was going to be dry and sunny long enough for the epoxy to set properly.

Omaha went out to some Democrat thing, and then later went out gaming with

lisakit while I took Kouryou-chan up to the dress rehearsal for her play. She did very well and they were ready for the performance next Friday, so I think it's going to work out all right. While she was rehearsing, I went to the coffee shop down the street from the theater and, rather than write, outlined. I wrote almost three thousand words of outline.

A friend of mine had a T60 laptop like my own, and it died, and he ended up with a battery and no laptop, so he gave it to me. I finally charged and tested it. It's in brand-new condition. Which means that if I just want to write, and nothing else, I can turn off the wifi, sound system, and 3D drivers, and get a full 8 hours out of my laptop before I have to plug it in. Rockin'.

Altogether mellow, not much done today otherwise.
